do i add 6 12 and 10 then divide by 8?

Nnesha (nnesha):

what is the total number of marbles ? and how many aare blue ?

OpenStudy (narissa):

theres 8 blue and 36

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

step 1) find the number of marbles that are not blue. Call this number x for now step 2) find the total number of marbles. Call this number y for now Step 3) Divide x/y and reduce as much as possible

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right so 8/36 simplify

OpenStudy (narissa):

1/6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

@Nnesha it's asking for non-blue marbles

Nnesha (nnesha):

true:D so subtract 36-8

OpenStudy (narissa):

im confused @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you need to totally number of marbles, and then the amount of the marbles without the blue

OpenStudy (narissa):

28

OpenStudy (narissa):

36

Nnesha (nnesha):

and then divide by 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep 28 marbles that arent blue. so then reduce 28/36

OpenStudy (narissa):
